RAILROADERS ALARMED.
The Reading Company Wedding Out
The Color Blind.

GllS SOlOr bllnQ.
PHILADELPHIA, July 19.--Some time ago
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
officials issued an order that all their train
employees should be subjected to an exami-
nation for color blindness and as to their
ability to read and write, and in compliance
herewith large number of men
have already been examined, few
OF whom have been found
deliciont and were either discharged or
transferred to other departments. The coal
handlers a5 Port Richmond, including the
shovelerS, coal train crews and all others
thought it was intended to apply to them as
Well as to the passenger and freight crews,
ana rather than submit to an examination
they held meeting and resolved to strike.
THE QUIT.
AT noon to-day when the men, 1 100 in
number, went to dinner they did not return
and it was then learned that strike had
been quietly, but successfully, inaugurated
Steps were at once taken to confer with the
company and early in the afternoon
meeting was held, at which the trouble
was amicably settled and all of the men
Will be at work as usual tomorrow morn
ing. just what the terms of the settlement
We're effected is not known, although it is
said by both sides that everything was sat
lstactorily arranged and the existing
troubles entirely settled.
NOT INCLUDED
1t was understood that the order for ex-
animation would not apply to them, as
their work did not involve the care of human
life, as in the case of passenger and freight
crews. With this the men were satisfied.
and at once agreed to return to work The
strike was the result of Misunderstanding
entirely, and not, as has been stated, on ac-
count Of the discharge of few of those
who failed to pass a satisfactory examine
ton.

A Transfer of all the Firms Effects
Made to German Creditor.
GALVESTON, July 19.-The firm of Kauff-
man & Runge have made complete trans
fer of all their realty, buildings, stock of
goods, wares merchandise and all appur-
anceS thereto to Mrs. Clara Kaufman, of
Bremen, Germany, making a total of
1858, ,0O0, to secure her claim against the
firm for that amount. Julius Runge, junior
member of the firm, arrived home from
New York yesterday morning. 1t is stated
that full and complete statement of the
firms condition will be made in a few
days. 1t is thought that the house will be
able to liquidate its losses in full. Owing
to the fact of Mr.. Runge being President of
the First National Bank and Director Of
the Island City Savings Bank, it was pre-
dicted that run would be made on these
repositories. This did not occur, however,
depositors being assured that neither bank
was involved to the extent of 81 in Mr.
Runge's failure The excitement occa-
stoned by the failure has subsidized.

count of Temperance.
MILWAUKEE, July 19.-Gambrinus AS
sembly Of the Knights of Labor is getting
ready to secede from the order on account
of the temperance views held by General
Master Workman Powderly The local
heads of the order have done everything in
their power to stay the rebellion, but with
out avail. Gambrinus Assembly is the most
numerous and wealthiest organization
of the order in Milwaukee, and has from
10000 to 1900 members. The employees
in the breweries are practically unanimous
in the opinion that they cannot remain with
the order under the circumstances. At a
recent meeting a committee was appointed
to confer with the brewers and ascertain
whether the contract for one year in NAV
would be affected if they left the order.
There is little doubt that the desired assur-
ance will be given, and when it is the as
sembly will step out and form an indepen-

Boston Girl on a Toboggan.

The Boston girl Is herself on toboggan, as
everywhere else. In the first place she modi-
fes and subdues the costume to suit her own
personality. The wild eccentricities of ths
St Paul or the Montreal maiden are tanned
by her to charm as delusive and delightful
as herself
The Boston girl does not take up toboggan-
ing because it is craze, nor because OF its
possibilities Of picturesqueness and effective
ness, as the New York girl does. She accepts
it as one of the developments of the progress
Of this last quarter Of the century, and goes
into it with concentration and the certain
charming seriousness which is a part Of her
way Of looking at everything. She is con-
scious first and last and always that all pleas
ures are elusive and feeting, but she sees the
philosophical beauty OF change. and accepts
tobogganing as she viii presently accept
whatever other good the gods send her in the
way Of fun.
The Boston girl makes her own suit and
gets up a gay little costume at a cost of S. or
SO. which would cost at least half IS much
again in the stores. Then she goes forth 10
Cambridge or Corey Hill or some other en-
chanting suburban slide and enjoys the moon
tight and the fun, and If she catches cold
from overexercise or from getting tipped over
into the snow she goes home and Inindcures
the cold away and comes forth the next day
brighter and more seif-conhdent than ever.

placed on the table at once, except the tor
tlilas. Fresh supplies Of these are brought
steaming hot to the table every few minutes
Only men take part in this feast of the poll
tlclans and boys wait on them. In the even
ing the hall is cleared for dancing; then the
women anu girls appear. They are dressed
with colored embroidery and have bright
colored scarfS around their shoulders. Bulk
seems to be their idea Of elegance, for each
has several very full skirts, all stiffiy starched
Their gold ornaments, earrings, necklaces
and finger rings are very numerous-made

the girls are beautiful, though ali are short
In stature like the men,
Inc musical instrument most used bv these
people is the marimba, played after the man
ner of dulcimer, but made of wood and
pieces of hide. The tones Of the marimba
are plaintive, sweet and melodious. 1t can
be heard at long distance in the still night
air.
The women sit around the room, but the
men stand in groups. When the dancing Is
to commence one OF them only advances to

partner, the woman returns to her seat when
the fancy takes her, and he, without chang
ing his position, invites some one else by a
nod, for he is expected to remain on foot till
the music ceases. Then another takes his
place; SO dancing is kept up till midnight,
all conducting themselves with the greatest
decorum. but merry peals Of laughter are
heard now and again. and every one seems

rolled the dead body of mana man with q
